Pros

Benefits are very good in all areas

Cons

The recent push to hire more diverse job candidates is hurting the company. Best people are being passed over for female candidates as the company tries to win political points and be recognized by the media for it's practices. It's to the point that we'll soon be dealing with lawsuits, which will surely slow down our already slow process even more.

Thanks for your feedback, it’s a great measure of caring about our company when people take the time to share their perspectives, and I appreciate your doing so. Our efforts to build a diverse and inclusive work environment are based on making BASF stronger for everyone. That includes all of us who work here, our customers who benefit from our ability to look through different lenses and find new approaches to solve problems and meet market needs, and people who are looking to join us in the future. Hiring decisions are all about choosing the best candidate, bringing together interview teams to select people who are the best at what they do from a talent pool that is stronger and more diverse than ever before. As we build a thoughtful, engaging and inclusive place to work for all, I would appreciate the opportunity to engage further on this topic with you, and encourage you to please reach out to me so that we can continue the conversation.

Pros

Generally great people. Good benefits. Opportunities to move around a lot if you are open to relocate. Great discounts on lots of different products (cars, appliances, etc.) because BASF supplies everyone with everything.

Cons

Risk averse. Slow moving. Follows the market rather than leads. Developments are led by chemists which frequently benchmark new product developments against BASF products, rather than the market leaders. If you are selected as a "high potential", you can walk on water, regardless of the poor quality of your work or lack of respect for and by your coworkers. European organization often pushes for launch of products in other markets that don't fit the market needs all in the name of "globalization". Very evident "diversification: efforts for new hires, leading to unqualified people being hired because of their gender or ethnicity.
